Plugins
Plugins are the secret sauce of the HotelX API. Think of plugins as features that will introduce at a request level all the business logic you normally would have had to implement on your side. These plugins can be used to fully customize the request and response in any way you wish, and can be added as your business grows and evolves. No need to aggregate responses now that you only have a few suppliers live? No problem. With Hotel-X, it’s easy to add this feature once your business needs it.
HotelX Plugins are a separate Go application that get compiled into the main application and run natively in our servers. Plugins are specified at the request level, or be configured by default.
